[ROOT+BB+CWM] ICS and non rootable GB build - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I have create rooting method based on DooMLoRD method [ROOT] Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS [FW:.562]{LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS} but have different approach.
special thanks to DooMLoRD
REQUIRED ROOTED DEVICE prior to update
How this method work?
1. create file /data/local.prop contain "ro.kernel.qemu=1" to enable root shell (this step must be done on ROOTED DEVICE)
2. update using Update Service/PC Companion/Flashtool without Factory Reset
3. after device updated,we should gained root shell that we use to push su binary and superuser.apk
Download : Xperia-ROOT.rev3.zip
Download : Xperia-ROOT.rev4.zip
Including autoinstall Stericson Busybox 1.20.1 and nAa CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
extract Xperia-ROOT.rev3.zip to any folder,so you got something like this

Another great tutorial made by DragonClawsAreSharp can be found at
[Tutorial]Root.Xperia 4.0.4 ROM | 4.1.B.0.431
STEP :
1. run 01-local-prop.cmd to create /data/local.prop (enable android emulator hack)
2. power off device and update your device WITHOUT FACTORY RESET
Update Service
select Update (recommended)
Flashtool
UNMARK WIPE DATA
after your device updated
on 1st boot your device will reboot once
on 2nd boot it will boot normally
if you got bootloop run 02-push-root-files.cmd right away
until it finished wait for 1 or 2 reboot
if you still got bootloop you need to reflash rootable firmware(zergrush method) then try again
3. run 02-push-root-files.cmd to push su binary and superuser.apk
4. your device will automatically reboot
5. enjoy your new rooted firmware
this method tested on :
1. Arc S ROOTED GB 4.0.2.A.0.42 updated to ICS 4.0.4
2. Ray ROOTED ICS 4.0.3 updated to ICS 4.0.4
3. Active ROOTED GB 4.0.2.A.0.42 updated to GB 4.0.2.A.0.62
tested by user:
1. SK17i ROOTED GB 4.0.2.A.0.58 updated to GB 4.0.2.A.0.62 by Bolussimo
2. Rooted SK17i FW 4.1.B.0.431 by draco_ag
3. LWW WT19i Rooted GB 4.0.2.A.0.58 updated to ICS 4.0.4 by alness1213
4. SK17i ROOTED GB 4.0.2.A.0.42 updated to ICS 4.0.4 by DragonClawsAreSharp

Dis method can only work on non-latest firmware.... lets say am using .62 firmware which is not rooted, dat means i need to downgrade to lower version & ROOT it to use dis!!!
Nice piece of work brov...

Yup,that's it bro.
As we know zergrush exploit doesn't works on FW starting .62 and above.
we just need any firmware that can be rooted using zergrush method then use this tool before and after upgrade to gain updated and rooted firmware.
I have tested this method on my Xperia Active running on ROOTED FW .42(rooted using zergrush method) use this tool before and after update to gain rooted FW .62
When doing update you MUST NOT do factory reset.

Wipe Data will deleted any add file & make tha phone return to factory reset right....?

it will clean all data from your phone,all user installed app and setting will gone.
in rooting process DO NOT factory reset.if you wish to factory reset you can do it after running the tool after 1st boot (step 3 - 5 )

And you really did it, bro! I will use your method, root my .62 fw and get ready for my rooted ICS. Thank you again!

A little question...
Just add these line " ro.kernel.qemu=1" to already exist /data/local.prop right???
Or make another /data/local.prop???

when running 01-local-prop.cmd
it will overwrite /data/local.prop
so /data/local.prop only contain "ro.kernel.qemu=1"
you need to run 01-local-prop.cmd just before you update your device.

edit :
if you have updated your device and run "02-push-root-files.cmd"
it's look like the script failed to remove /data/local.prop
from 02-push-root-files.sh :
Code:
adb shell rm [COLOR="Red"]-f[/COLOR] /data/local.prop

workaround :

if you have FW. 58 or erlier ftf flash it with flashtool DO NOT UNMARK wipe data.
then root it using zergrush method.
try again from step 1
edit :
it's look like you got bootloop because your data partition was full.
now i got bootloop downgraded to fw. 42 without factory reset.i only got 50mb free before flashing.
my rom was odexed before,so 50mb was not enought to hold dalvik-cache from framework and system app

Hi puppet,
How come he was not asked by Superuser for root permission?
Is it because he had allowed adb with root rights earlier and had checked "always allow"? (may be).
Or there can be some other reasons?
Thanks,
Rick

now i hit the bull eye
/data/local.prop : ro.kernel.qemu=1 --> cause system instability that cause bootloop if data partition was full
download Xperia-ROOT.rev3.zip from 1st post and run 02-push-root-files.cmd it will wait for device before reboot(bootloop).after /data/local.prop(ro.kernel.qemu=1) gone,it will boot normally
when it reach home screen you need to make more free space on /data partition

it's look like superuser automatically allow su access from adb shell
i just check from superuser app,there is no shell in apps list.
if i remember correctly old superuser doesn't automatically allow su access from adb shell,it will prompt su access and if allowed or denied it will be added to app list as unknown

Okay. Got it.
So if he had connected his dead cell to the pc and run the 2nd bathc file, things would become alright for him right?

02-push-root-files.cmd doesn't run on su access because of /data/local.prop (ro.kernel.qemu=1)
when ro.kernel.qemu=1 in effect we automatically got root shell
so when we start adb shell we got # instead of $
# = root user
$ = normal user

X10 Custom ROM AOSP 2.2.1 : How to for dummies

SINCE FREE X10 IS NOW BETA, THIS HOW TO IS NO LONGER VALID
Hello world !
I noticed there was nothing to explain simply how to install the increible X10 Free Rom in dual-boot with your regular 2.1 rom of Zdzihu.
** No responsability for anything, you are all responsible of what you're doing !! **
** Please follow ALL these steps. Don't try to be Indiana Jones by flashing your device without all the tools needed !!! **
INSTALL
(for 1st install)
Before attempting anything, make sure you have AT LEAST 50% of battery charge. Don't try anything with low battery, you can abort the flashing and brick your device !!!
Please make sure you're also running a 2.1 rom (Generic, nordic, official, custom...)​
- Download FreeX10 v0.0.1 file (NOT 002 yet !!!)
- Download Android SDK
You don't need to save the entire archive (but you can), you just need the Tools folder (because it contains ADB, the Android Debug Bridge we need to install files).
- On x10 :
Download and install Busybox (from Market), make sure it says "Done!".
Connect your x10 in USB, mount SD card, and copy files FreeX10.zip and install on the root of your SD Card.
Enable USB debugging (Parameters > Applications > Development).
- On your computer, go in the Tools folder, open a DOS prompt (for Windows 7 : hold CAPS + right click, you'll see Open a DOS prompt) and
type :
Code:
adb shell
(this will run ADB shell... You will get a "$")
- Type :
Code:
su
(this will make you super-user, you will get a "#")
- Type :
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/install of=/data/install && chmod 777 /data/install && /data/install
(It will display "11", "1+1", or "inflating:..." ...)
- Wait, have a beer, pray for your sins for your phone not to turn into a $600 brick
- One minute after, when it shows
Code:
All done, please reboot!
, reboot ! (But you can gently quit ADB by typing
Code:
exit
twice
)
Note : regarding me, I typed "exit" to quit ADB, I turned off ADB on phone and disconnected USB. You can do, it's even safer
- Wait up to 5 minutes for the phone to boot, it is NORMAL !!!! It looks stuck on Sony Ericsson logo and/or on Free X10 logo, it's NOT stuck !!! You MUST wait !!!!
- It will finally run normal, your phone is alive and 2.2-hearted !!
You are now eligible to install v0.0.2 (as it comes as an update).
Dual Boot usage
This rom comes with a great Dual Boot, which means the 2.2.1 is installed safely apart from your original 2.1 rom. This means you can switch back anytime to stock rom. To say it simply :
- Your Android 2.1 is here, and no changes are made to it (apps, version, etc etc). It is stored as it has to be, in the internal 1Gb phone memory storage (called the "NAND").
- FreeX10 (2.2.1) is running from image files (like .ISO files) stored in your SD Card. This means the two Android are living together peacefully, without affecting (theorically) each other.
FreeX10 mainly creates a bootloader, for you to choose whether to test 2.2.1, or go back to 2.1 for your daily use.
- To run 2.2.1 : do nothing (default boot)
- To run 2.1 : press any key at boot, when it shows "Sony Ericsson".
Notes when upgrading to v0.0.2 :
- As Android is stored into image files (.IMG), upgrading will wipe out all your content (it does a fresh "install"), make backup of what you need !
- to avoid future bugs, altough you're not forced to do, do the routines to make sure Wifi, root, packages install, ... work. This is because USB debug can break, so you won't be able to use ADB to fix these bugs
- Root is strongly recommended to work, because it's cool and because the CPU performance is set to highest : stuck at 998MHz all the time, it will drain your battery like hell ! You can switch it back to original power saving plan (ondemand plan) by using (ie) SetCPU. Root required !
If your Android goes instable, does not work anymore, or you want a fresh install after lots of tests, simply drag and drop the original v0.0.2 .img files on your SD card. This will make you boot into a fully fresh install.
For all bugs, commands, etc.. Please go first to this excellent (and very easy) thread !!
Nice..
How about one on AOSP 2.1

nice dummies HOW TO
and ohhh my god there is dummies
all comands needed
INSTALLATION
1. Download the rom package (FreeX10_alpha-release_0.0.1.tar.bz2)
2. Unpack it to the root (main folder) of your SD Card
3. Connect your phone in USB Debugging mode
4. Open ADB shell, switch to root user (SU)
5. Issue the command
dd if=/sdcard/install of=/data/install && chmod 777 /data/install && ./data/install
6. Reboot when installation is finished
7. Enjoy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGE BOOT PRIORITY
Copy chargemon.txt file to
/system/bin
folder ON YOUR ORIGINAL 2.1 ROM, NOT FROYO!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPGRADE TO 0.0.2 VERSION
Boot into 2.1, unpack the content of FreeX10_alpha-release_0.0.2-UPDATE.tar.bz2 into
/sdcard/FreeX10
folder and reboot into updated 2.2!
NOTES:
1. SMS vibrate is disabled by default; open Messaging, press MENU button -> settings -> vibrate -> always
2. If you don't have radio (network) after 1st boot, please open ADB shell and issue this command:
killall servicemanager
3. If you don't have root access, please open ADB shell and issue this command:
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hope it helps too
UPDATE TO v.0.0.2
Note : you can only update from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2. I mean you can't do a fresh install of 0.0.2, you MUST have 0.0.1 installed !
- Download v0.0.2 from main thread.
- Run your device on your regular 2.1 rom (while off, power on, and press any button when it displays Sony Ericsson logo)
- Mount the SD Card, then copy data.img and system.img from the archive into the folder /FreeX10. Replace the two .img files.
- Reboot into 2.2, have fun ^^

I'll try to do one if I get time, but I need a fully working ROM as my phone is useful for my life (still waiting for 2.1 stable )
Thanks for your posts all, it will help everybody who want to try the 2.2
(as it is safe and running from SD card, very very very cool idea !)

Does it work when your run "adb" command only ?
It looks to me your error is because you're not in the folder where adb.exe is
It is in folder tools, if you try to run it from root directory (where is the android app with nice icon) it won't work for sure
Edit: didn't see your screenshot >> you are NOT in the correct folder !! (so Windows is searching for a registered command which does not exist, I think there's a thread somewhere on how to add it as a registered (I mean global) command)
You must download Android SDK (22mb... Lmao regarding 4gb for iOS ), extract the archive and go in the tools folder. Here is adb.exe.
when i try & run adb exe it does not open it just closes right away

Clean and pre-rooted 2.1 ROM

All credits go to pulpoff2 for this! This is not by me, I am merely the messenger. Only thing I did was to ask pulpoff for the files and a tutorial With his permission I will share it with you.
This will provide you with a fresh and unmodified 2.1-system, exactly like you would do the official update - only exception is that it is rooted. So all the apps and games of the official firmware are available and nothing else. You can remove the crap (like the games or timescape for example) by yourself after doing the steps below.
UPDATE:
There is a newer ROM by propc you can use instead of this one. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888427
-- NEW --
propc kindly provides us with a shellscript to automate the steps below. See here for the script and a short manual:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10067921&postcount=120
If the script doesn't work for you or you prefer to do things the manual way, you may use the steps below.
Download these files:
x8-2.1rooted.img.yaffs.rar
and
ISO-8859-1__unyaffs-arm.rar
Also download the 2.1-firmware from here or here. Unpack it on your computer and delete the "system.sin".
Unpack "x8rooted.img", "busybox" and "unyaffs" to SDcard.
You need 1.6 with root on your phone. By the way, all the data on your phone will be lost after doing the following steps, so making a backup is advised.
Use "adb shell" to connect to your phone and become su:
Code:
su
Copy "busybox" and "unyaffs" to /data/local/tmp. (Pulpoff says you should copy to /sbin, but this requires remounting with busybox. I copied to /sbin, but I think /data/local/tmp should work just fine)
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox
cat /sdcard/unyaffs > unyaffs
chmod the files to make them executable:
Code:
chmod 755 busybox
chmod 755 unyaffs
EDIT: If you want to copy the files to /sbin (like pulpoff2 advises), you can do this OPTIONAL step:
EDIT2: It was confirmed that this is indeed not necessary!
Remount the root directory to make /sbin writable. Then copy the files over and change the working directory to /sbin:
Code:
[strike]
./busybox mount -o remount,rw /
./busybox cp -prf busybox /sbin/
./busybox cp -prf unyaffs /sbin/
cd /sbin[/strike]
Remount /system as writable:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
Switch to busybox shell:
Code:
./busybox sh
Remove /system (yes, really!). It's normal to get errors because of the "lost+found"-folders. Ignore the errors.
Code:
./busybox rm -r /system
Unpack pre-rooted image to system. It should output "end of image" if it finishes correctly.
Code:
./unyaffs /sdcard/x8rooted.img /system
Your phone won't boot anymore now and it will crash as soon as you try to use it - that's normal! Go to next step.
Just remove the battery and the usb-cable from the phone, then re-attach the battery. Flash 2.1-kernel (without system.sin !!) using the flasher-tool by Bin4ry. If the flasher gives you an error because of a missing "loader.sin" you can take this file from the 1.6-firmware. Refer to Bin4ry's thread to learn how to use his flasher and how to enter flash-mode on your phone.
The phone should now boot, although the first boot can take a little while. If you get into a boot-loop or you just see the white sony ericsson logo (not the green one after the animation) for several minutes, it probably didn't work and you have to start over again by flashing 1.6.
This was written as I remember how I did it by myself. It worked for me at first try! If it works for you, please click the thanks-button. It will make me feel better
After you have your nice rooted 2.1 you probably want to enable JIT for a nice performance boost.
But does it have root? Bad reading.

Absolutely. But no busybox. So if you plan to enable JIT, you have to copy busybox to /system/bin by yourself.

of course it is rooted.
now we know what to do with unyaffs.
2 things:
1. I've bought the phone with 1.6 android, but I was unable to root it with any method, then I've upgraded to 2.1 update 1. Is there any way to root it?
2. I have Hungarian language. Does it contain Hungarian language?

1: There is no way to directly root a phone with 2.1. You need to go back to 1.6, root it and then follow the above steps.
2: I guess so. As far as I know the firmware is the same for all countries.
Works like a charm! I removed the /system folder contents one by one though, using the method from the previous thread. Anyway, the first time I tried, unyaffs exited before extracting all the files (maybe the phone ran out of memory?). I didn't notice it and went on to flash the phone, ending up stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo. So, make sure that unyaffs reports that it has reached the "end of image" before moving on to the next step!
Thanks!!

This has nothing to do with App2SD. Also the ROM gets loaded from internal flash, not from sdcard. The result is the same as with the official update, but with root.
If you want to have /data on sdcard, use the modified chargemon or neptun2's method.
I'm totally new to android but somehow i managed to get to number 8, and I have no idea how to switch to busybox shell, can somebody explain this bit in lamens terms please.

You should still be in "/data/local/tmp" as the working directory (check with "pwd"-command). If you followed the steps correctly, you should have a working busybox-file in there. So just type "busybox sh". If it looks like it does nothing, it's all right

That's way too long, something isn't right there. To start over again you have to flash back to 1.6.
Ok I had not realised the superuser permissions was not popping up on my phone that's sorted now. I get to number 8 again and it said permission denied

Known bug, no solution. Problem only cosmetic, everything works fine
Ok ,working fine on 4.0.4 stock rom .
If you dont like ADB command stuff ,just download the onscreekeys 4.0.3 zip and replace (just drag and drop) the 4.0.4 framework-res.apk file onto it in the system/framework folder and then install that zip with CWM. It worked for me.
With apex launcher i have no medium Icon issues in the low bar.
Thanks!!!

During your bootloop, enter recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache. and then reboot!
If still no joy, restore framework-res.apk from your backup via adb in recovery!

Try uninstalling one of the two SU apps...you should only need one to my understanding. Then reboot right after.
If that doesn't work you may have to unroot completely and start over.
Hi dear friend...
I had the same problem(likely) with some APPs in ICS...please do the following:
First if you are running ICS,disable(or uninstall) superuser(supersu is sufficient),then open supersu and look at your list of APPs in the first page,if the # mark in front of some APPs are green,then they have root access.if not, tap on them,in the window that appears,in the root access drop down list choose "Grant"...if even this didn't solve the issue please tell us to send you a working root package...

Installing update....
Install from sdcard complete
but i have the same problem!
You think is better unroot?
It sounds like you've tried everything else. I would back up stuff you need, unroot with stock firmware and start over with just one option. You may choose to skip manually rooting altogether and just flash a rooted ROM. Good luck!
The first time you flash this you must open supersu,a message says that the su binary is outdated,press OK,after some seconds connected to the internet,you see success message,reboot(just optional) znd execute the app you want to gain root access,if it fails(no prompt appeared)don't get disappointed,close the APP,launch supersu,see the # mark in front of the APP's name,tap on it,from the "root access" select "Grant"...
Edit:if you want to flash a ROM then have a look at Jelly Bean ICS in the dev forum...it's ICS and comes with root+many other goodies...

i have unrooted and now i have installed ROM][ICS] JellyBeanRom ICS v5 [P7500][P7510][03.09.2012] v6
Itink the problem was then i caming by Honeycomb:
Instructions (IMPORTANT!):
1. Coming from stock ICS.
If you don't have any recovery then flash it (for example TWRP). Then boot into recovery, make a full wipe and flash my rom.
2. Coming from Honeycomb or any other custom like CM9/CM10/AOKP etc.
First you have to flash stock ICS, regarding which version of the Tab you have (3G/non 3G). Then you have to flash a custom recovery (for example TWRP), boot into it and make a full wipe. Finally flash my rom.
tanks for help bye .
That makes sense. You can run into problems with some ROMs depending on where you're coming from. I ran into problems with ICS ROMs in the beginning because of a bootloader issue...I flashed stock firmware to change my base and built ROMs from there as you're describing in Step 2.
Enjoy!
I have similar problem...
I own a T-Mobile 10.1 Tab, stock ICS... After flashing the stock ICS (i came from CM9) with odin, i flashed the CWM, and the applyed the "root.zip" file...
Booted and I saw that Superuser has been installed.
But I have no root access... The applications return that the root requisitation timed-out...
Anyone knows why? It shoud be quite simple....
Another thread has just been opened in the General area with someone asking the same question. The answers are there, friend...you just have to look for them Here it is again (assuming you are having the same problem and it sounds like you are) - it's because the version of Superuser the root.zip you're using drops into the system is not friends with ICS. Simply update Superuser to 3.1.3. Go Here , download Super 3.1.3-ARM-Signed.zip, drop it on your tablet's root, flash it from recovery and reboot. You should be good after that.

Since the adobe flash player 11 work for tab 10.1 HC 3.2 P7510, and some ICS early device.
adobe system no more certificate and support for ICS 4.0.x device.
So it SHOULD work for my Tab 10.1 P7510 ICS 4.0.4 too. and Yes. It is.
You no longer fine Flash player in Tablet PLAY store once you upgrade to ICS.
but you can find it in PC version PLAY store, then PUSH install from PC to Tablet P7510.
and YES, it work fine for my P7510 with ICS!

You still have to unlock it via the Motorola website to assert that you voided your warranty.

Gotcha. Too bad I went ahead and 'bricked' the device. Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure.

All is well. I had to unlock the bootloader, reflash.
Edit 2: I can't update the SuBinary. It throws a generic error message, stating to contact the developer.

I got this as well, you're best off finding the superuser.zip from cyanogenmod's site and installing that by hand via adb.
Code:

The SU binary + Superuser.apk are both from the newest SuperSU (1.51). Where are you seeing the "su requires updating" message? SuperSU is already installed for you.
If you install CM's Superuser, you will get this error. I first tried CM's su + Superuser but the apk was not cooperating.
Nonetheless, you will be able to use su from the terminal and do any update you please. Trying to get CWM recovery working at the moment so this is no longer necessary.

Cheers, I managed to get Terminal to work. But TIBackup still can't get root access. No popups that I'd normally get with CM/other rooted ROMs.

Not sure why that would be. Uninstall CM's Superuser if you downloaded it from the market. Only SuperSU worked for me.
Titanium Backup works without a problem here.
I would suggest deleting both su + Superuser.apk and rebooting, if you modified either in /system. Upon startup, it will reroot your device with the latest SuperSU + su binary.
